Privately owned and operating for over two decades, HB Homes & Commercial is the building company locals trust and depend on for quality, flexibility, and progress. These values are the reason why many of our customers have come back to work with us. The following client testimonials provide you with a look behind the scenes of their customer journey, the benefits of off-site construction over an on-site build as well as why we are the smart choice for you.
From our Clients
“Cannot recommend these guys enough, thank you so much HB Homes for literally doing everything to have us in our new house for Xmas, a beautiful, fully appointed, fully insulated, fully perfect home. Wow. The process to get into our home was made so easy... we did the fun stuff like choosing colours and any add-ons to the original plans (love love love our extended decking and subsequent indoor-outdoor flow...). You guys literally did absolutely all the hard stuff, like dealing with council, sorting all the logistics from building the house indoors at your site (no weather delays), sorting plumbing, decking, electricals, waste, getting all council consentd etc etc.. I cannot say enough good about you. THANK YOU.... we are loving our new home.”
Nicki S. | Meeanee, Hawke's Bay
“We are so grateful to the caring HB Homes team. Having the home built in a dedicated facility streamlined the process and made it incredibly stress-free for us. The entire experience proved that a pre-fab transported home can be unique and tailored, exceed quality standards, go easy on the budget, and go fast in a time crunch. We can’t think of a better building method, nor a better off-site building company to team up with, and we wholeheartedly recommend HB Homes. You can expect to be blown away!”
Susan H. | Kahuranaki, Hawkes Bay
"We are sitting here in our bach tonight, very happy. Still can’t quite believe it! The process has been a pleasure and enjoyable. Not what most people say about a new build. Thank you all for your input, ideas, help, and time. The end result is fantastic, and a dream come true for Nick and I and the boys. Look forward to a drink here with you all over summer. Thanks again. Nick and I are so happy.”
Sophie S. | Aramoana, Central Hawke's Bay
"We would 100% recommend the whole process, it was faultless, and it was incredible to see our new home leave the factory, and within a few days, we were able to enjoy it in its new location. The quality is Superb, and we are located in an extreme weather zone, and the house doesn't move or make a sound in the extreme weathers. Thanks for the Great Quality and Service.”
Mark W. | Central Hawke's Bay
"Really appreciate dealing with such a friendly onto it company, from Kim in Sales, who made our purchase easy & simple, to Mark who project managed, to their subcontractors, staff, and everyone involved, professional & courteous. And a fabulous Home. Thank you."
Greg N. | Hastings, Hawke's Bay
“The reason why we chose HB Homes was due to their passion to build quality and cost-effective architectural designed homes as well as them being located in Hawke’s Bay. We were in a time crunch and the team made everything happen for us. We love our home! Thanks, HB Homes team, it was a great, stress-free experience.”
Mary B. | Mahia, Hawke's Bay
“Great customer service from the whole Hawke’s Bay Homes team. The customer service went beyond expectations. We love our home, other people love it too. It’s warm, we feel secure, and it has a wonderful ambience. Not once did I feel pressured to make a decision. I can only speak highly of my experience with Hawke’s Bay Homes – it was my dream to build my own home on our land, which now has come true. Thank you.”
Jo E. | Central Hawke's Bay
"We have recently completed a significant project with HB Homes & Commercial, building a 96-bed RSE accommodation village, and we could not be more impressed with the experience. From the outset, the team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, consistently meeting both time and budget targets. Mark, Kim, and the entire team were a pleasure to work with—friendly, approachable, and always willing to accommodate our needs.
The quality of the final build exceeded our expectations, delivering a modern, functional, and comfortable village that we are proud to provide for our RSE staff.
We highly recommend HB Homes & Commercial to anyone seeking a reliable and professional building company. Their commitment to excellence has made this project a genuine success."
Tony H. | Hastings, Hawke’s Bay
"Building a new home was a daunting thought. We started the process with some trepidation. A friend had recommended HB Homes. After our first meeting with Kim we were much more relaxed and knew we were on the right path
Looking back now, one year later, the whole process was not at all stressful, in fact it went so smoothly it was hard to believe.
Working with the HB Homes team we were impressed with their processes which easily lead us through the journey to our new home. Decisions were easy as they supplied us a list of potential suppliers to visit. On arrival at the suppliers they already had copies of our plans and a list of the choices we needed to make. All our decisions... plumbing, electrical, whiteware, carpeting, kitchen joinery etc were able to be made on the one day!!!!!!!
Working with Mark and his team was a pleasure... always ready to listen, happy for us to visit the factory to view progress.
The final delivery was a real event and the skill of the truck driver amazing.
If you are thinking of a new transportable home HB Homes is definitely the place to go. One year on we are still 100% happy and have had no issues with our new home."
